How Digital Collaboration is shaping the future of Education

The global pandemic has had a profound impact on education, accelerating the transition to new working and learning models. It has brought to the fore the vital role technology plays in our work practices. We have seen how collaborative technologies can improve productivity and interaction between people and technology - global location and physical ability are no longer barriers to communication or knowledge sharing.

The National Industry Innovation Network (NIIN), a dynamic alliance led by Cisco and Optus, in partnership with world class universities, La Trobe and Curtin, has recently released a paper that highlights the importance of secure digital collaboration in the shift to hybrid learning environments. It not only aims to better understand the key challenges and opportunities faced when working remotely but addresses some of the foreseen risks of a distributed workforce.
